This shape represents a sunglasses- and clothing style strongly influenced by the media and part of the music industry. The predominantly massive and as a consequence quite heavy designs became popular among the Hip-Hop scene in the late 70’s and throughout the early 80’s. Even today some of the vintage glasses by Cazal, Alpina, Cartier, Carrera, Boeing and Persol are known to enhance and adorn many of the currently produced music-videos.
